• Immunization cards are being updated to include a space to record the IPV dose

• Until these are available, record the IPV dose by hand (along with OPV dose) on the immunization card

• Include the date the vaccine was given, and write “IPV” (not “polio”)

Both IPV and OPV will be administered simultaneously

Therefore, both IPV and OPV should be recorded and monitored separately, not as “polio vaccines”

Remember to record both OPV and IPV separately

How to track infants for IPV vaccineHow to track infants for IPV vaccine

It is critical that all infants get IPV at 14 weeks of age, typically along with Penta3 (or DTP3) and OPV3

The EPI programme needs to identify all eligible children, and to get them to the vaccination sessions– How to identify newborns?

• Review birth registries and other health and civil records

• Use volunteers, community leaders, and religious leaders to learn about births

– How to get the infants vaccinated?• Inform parents about vaccination sessions• Use volunteers to identify and follow up with parents

whose children are due for IPV

How to track infants who have not received a dose of IPV vaccine

How to track infants who have not received a dose of IPV vaccine

Ensure that all children get at least 1 dose of IPV at or after 14 weeks of age, along with Penta3 and OPV3

Follow up with infants who were expected to receive a dose of IPV, but did not (defaulters)

Year: 2015

Use reminder cards, immunization registries, or community volunteers to follow up with defaulters

Use community volunteers to remind families of infants who will soon be eligible for IPV vaccine to get the vaccine

Keep track of children who are due each month
